Last race of the season… I can’t believe it’s that time of the year again! Time to put up the feet, do all the things you’ve not had the time to do during the season, and let everything that you’ve done during the season sink in… and there’s a lot of that to do for me this year!

After two and a half days at home, trying to get used to the idea of being a U23 World Champion, it was already time again to head off to my next, and penultimate, race of the 2014 season. After being woken up softly at 5.30 am by my mum (by turning on the bright light in my room…) we headed to the airport to fly to Hanover. …

So, I’m just sitting at Edmonton Airport waiting for my plane back home – a little bit tired (I have to admit that I didn’t have the longest of nights…), a little sore (turns out Olympic distances show a little more effect the next day than Sprints), but with a constant smile on my face; I am the new U23 World Champion – apparently that race yesterday really happened, and apparently it was really the U23 World Champs!
